Instructions

1

Preheat & Line: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line an 8×8 inch (20×20 cm) square baking pan with parchment paper.
2

Make Oat Flour: Blend the rolled oats in a blender or food processor for 30 seconds until finely ground into flour.
3

Mash Bananas: In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas thoroughly with a fork until completely smooth with no lumps.
4

Mix Batter: Add the oat flour and unsweetened cocoa powder to the mashed bananas. Stir until a thick, fudgy batter forms. Fold in dark chocolate chips if using.
5

Bake & Cool: Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 18–20 minutes until set. Let cool completely before slicing into 9 fudgy squares!

Notes & Tips

🍌 Spotty Bananas: Use overripe, heavily spotted bananas for maximum natural sweetness and moisture.
🍫 Don’t Overbake: Pull the brownies out when the center looks slightly soft. They firm up as they cool while staying super fudgy.
🌾 Gluten-Free Option: Use certified gluten-free rolled oats to ensure the recipe is 100% gluten-free.
❄️ Cold Taste Best: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days — chilled brownies taste twice as fudgy!
